I'm not sure what a good life in software is, but I'd start with:
- Make things that are good for everyone
- Build for the least among us
- Maintain more than you displace
- Your impact is never the sum of your personal efforts, so make others better

I posted this and was like "shit I don't know how I'm going to find that video again if someone asks, I've watched so many and it was probably an anecdote in some unrelated video."
Thankfully no, it was very obvious which one it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgPwfHXiBjw

The most surprising thing I've learned about Fallout from Tim Cain's (producer/writer/programmer on the original Fallout) youtube videos is that the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system didn't come about from picking the word SPECIAL and making an acrostic out of it.
In its 1st draft, it didn't have "Luck." They added that for purely mechanical reasons and didn't change it to SPECIAL until they introduced the new system to the team as ACE LIPS and someone pointed out it could spell SPECIAL instead

Once again, if a person has been granted access to classified national security information and they give it to someone who is not authorized to have it, they are not, by definition in the law, a "whistleblower." They are a criminal. There is only one way that a USG employee is a whistleblower, and that ain't it.

Spare me the pompous hypocrisy about how the law applies equally to all. (Talking to you, MSNBC, NYT and others.) If so, Donnie would be frog-marched to the paddy wagon the instant they found the docs. Like Reality Winner. He'd immediately get his passport canceled. Like Edward Snowden. He'd be stripped naked pre-trial and put in a bare cell under "suicide watch." Like Chelsea Manning. So stop.

The Web can be fast, even on under powered HW. Here's a short clip launching the Settings app of @capyloon on a Pinephone Pro.
In a nutshell:
- the runtime is Gecko 116 loading content from a local web server.
- the app is not minified, there is not even a build step! (https://github.com/capyloon/nutria/tree/main/apps/settings)
- The UI is built with https://shoelace.style web components and a custom lazy loader.And I'm sure we can do even better.
